Planning Types: Campus Planning

The Dr. EJ and Margaret O'Brien Hall at Marquette University showcases the ways in which relationship building between people, disciplines, space types, and contexts advances design to achieve human-purposed, inclusive outcomes for the department and campus. In this session, we'll discuss the new convening, inclusive, student-focused hub for business and innovation leadership and demonstrate how it exemplifies the core tenets of relationship building in navigating campus engagement, design process, and future success. Join us to learn useful strategies around relationship building within your campus communities, collaborative design processes for hybrid learning, intersecting purpose-built and loose-fit design, and post-pandemic student wellbeing.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Discuss how to strengthen stakeholder relationships through an inclusive engagement process addressing programmatic and user needs and establishing a design vision that aligns with campus identity and values.
  2. Identify the challenges of remote and hybrid education and consider how a collaborative, integrated design process can maintain key relationships and project goals.
  3. Explain how a student-centered design process that co-locates purpose-built departmental and learning spaces with interdisciplinary learning and social spaces can promote campus, community, and regional connections for wellbeing and belonging.
  4. Describe design features and programming of welcoming, inclusive spaces that support interdisciplinary collaboration across different schools and colleges.
